Direct profiling of genome-wide dCas9 and Cas9 specificity using ssDNA mapping (CasKAS)

ABSTRACT: Detecting and mitigating off-target activity is critical to the practical application of CRISPR-mediated genome and epigenome editing. While numerous methods have been developed to map genome-wide sgRNA specificity genome-wide, they are generally time-consuming and/or expensive, and not applicable to catalytically dead CRISPR enzymes. We have developed a rapid, inexpensive, and facile assay for identifying off-target CRISPR binding and cleavage by chemically mapping the unwound single-stranded DNA structures formed upon CRISPR binding (``CasKAS''). We demonstrate this method in both in vitro and in vivo contexts.

A screen for cis-regulatory elements for murine miR-142 using an sgRNA library prepared by Molecular Chipper technology

Project description:CRISPR-based loss-of-function screens have been proven powerful to identify genetic regulators in mammalian cells, but current approaches for single guide RNA (sgRNA) library construction are expensive and difficult to be adapted in most laboratories. Here, we present a Molecular Chipper technology for inexpensive and easily customizable sgRNA library generation, and a proof-of-principle screen that identifies novel cis-regulatory regions for miR-142 biogenesis. This method will be useful for functional interrogation of non-coding elements in mammalian genomes

Inhibition of uPA expression by CRISPR-dCas9 DNA methyltransferases

Project description:We report the generation of CRISPR-dCas9 DNA methyltransferases to mediate targeted DNA methylation. Using the dCas9-BFP-DNMT3A and dCas9-BFP-DNMT3B methyltransferases, we have demonstrated that these two methyltransferase can mediate targeted methylation in three human genes tested: uPA, TGFBR3, and CDKN2A in human HEK293T cells. We also showed that these methyltransferases could mediate gene inhibition. five samples co-transfected with five uPA sgRNAs and each of the four dCas9 fusions, or control transfection with pUC19 plasmid

Sequencing-based ssDNA detection

Project description:Meiotic DNA double stranded breaks (DSBs) initiate genetic recombination in discrete areas of the genome called recombination hotspots. Although DSBs can be directly mapped using ChIP-Seq and antibody against ssDNA-associated proteins, genome-wide mapping of recombination hotspots in mammals is still a challenge due to the low frequency of recombination, high heterogeneity of the germ cell population and the relatively low efficiency of ChIP. To overcome these limitations we have developed a novel method, single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) sequencing (SSDS), that specifically detects protein-bound single-stranded DNA at DSB ends. SSDS consists of a computational framework for the specific detection of ssDNA-derived reads in a sequencing library and a new library preparation procedure for the enrichment of fragments originating from ssDNA. When applied to mapping meiotic DSBs, the use of SSDS reduces the non-specific dsDNA background more than ten-fold. Our method can be extended to other systems where the identification of ssDNA or DSBs is desired.

CellMap: Characterizing the types and composition of iPSC-derived cells from RNA-seq data

Project description:Induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) derived cell types are increasingly employed as in vitro model systems for drug discovery. For these studies to be meaningful, it is important to understand the reproducibility of the iPSC-derived cultures and their similarity to equivalent endogenous cell types. Single-cell and single-nucleus RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) are useful to gain such understanding, but they are expensive and time consuming, while bulk RNA-seq data can be generated quicker and at lower cost. In silico cell type decomposition is an efficient, inexpensive, and convenient alternative that can leverage bulk RNA-seq to derive more fine-grained information about these cultures. We developed CellMap, a computational tool that derives cell type profiles from publicly available single-cell and single-nucleus datasets to infer cell types in bulk RNA-seq data from iPSC-derived cell lines.

Tracking of dCas9-methyltransferase footprints

Project description:In normal mammalian development cytosine methylation is essential, and is directed to specific regions of the genome. Despite notable advances in mapping the genome-wide distribution, studying the direct contribution of DNA methylation to gene regulation has been limited by the lack of tools for its precise manipulation. Thus, combining the targeting capability of CRISPR/Cas9 systems with an epigenetic modifier has attracted interest in the scientific community. In contrast to profiling the genome-wide cleavage of a nuclease competent Cas9, tracing the global activity of a dead Cas9-methyltransferase is challenging within a highly modified genome. To overcome this, we utilized an engineered, methylation depleted but maintenance competent mouse ES cell line and find a surprisingly ubiquitous nuclear activity of dCas9-methyltransferases. Our results provide new insights into the targeted regulation of DNA methylation and point to an important difference between genetic and epigenetic editing tools that require unique experimental considerations.

Targeted DNA methylation in vivo using an engineered dCas9-MQ1 fusion protein (RRBS)

Project description:Comprehensive studies have shown that DNA methylation plays vital roles in both loss of pluripotency and governance of the transcriptome during embryogenesis and subsequent developmental processes. Aberrant DNA methylation patterns have been widely observed in tumorigenesis, aging, and neurodegenerative diseases, highlighting the importance of a systematic understanding of DNA methylation and the dynamic changes of methylomes during disease onset and progression. Here we describe a facile and convenient approach for efficient targeted DNA methylation by fusing inactive Cas9 (dCas9) with an engineered prokaryotic DNA methyltransferase MQ1. Our study presents a lentivirus-free strategy to achieve locus-specific cytosine modifications in the genome within 24 hours. Finally, we demonstrated our tool can induce targeted CpG methylation in mice by zygote microinjection, thereby facilitating the dissection of the functional relevance of specific CpG methylation marks at endogenous loci.
